We err and are granted opportunity to cleanse the stain
Why then look at the temporarily misaligned with disdain

we’re spoon fed 
being breathed
by God’s breath

our mind thinks
and heart feels
misaligned

scripts we weave
hypnotic
delusion

Head and heart misaligned
Happiness is denied
Halting the flow of thought
Horrors spawned by mind die
Honing silence with bliss
Hunger for God’s touch grows
Heaven’s light dawns within...

if effort applied to be still
we are misaligned with Gods will
doer so doing our ego
subtle cravings loathe to forgo
hark! soma nectar overspills

It stays holstered
The hate that I carry
But its never out of reach

I heard your voice from a window
And I imagined you falling out
Spilling over the concrete
Misaligned and stupid

That's so you...

Shadow shy you gilding by
My thoughts begin to scatter
Youth perfection majesty
The timing dreaming shatters
Fractured time now misaligned
No future knee for bending
Just your perfect energy
A moment quickly ending

A shift in the alignment of his chromosomes they said
Nature's small mistake sees and hears the world in his own special way
Unconditional love and a pure smile seems no mistake

Talked Over:
Unappealing,
non-vocal,
nearly invisible

Looked Over:
Too young,
too old,
too short

Passed Over:
Avoided,
Unconnected,
ignored

Crossed Over:
Misaligned,
marked off

Worked Over:
No longer desired,
Over utilized

trapped in the open
we are free within
free will boon yet bane
of what use is mind
misaligned from heart

the sky above
firm ground below
we know not yet
true life purpose

in silence
tranquil calm
truth is known

we feel
within

God

My girlfriend has a girlfriend
as pigeons flee the roost
Pronouns crying God knows what
knots are coming loose

I was my girlfriend’s boyfriend
when lines unblurred defined
My love abeyant, Limbo’s child
—left here misaligned

Self-fulfilling prophecy dawns
Misaligned heart’s desire
Do we know not yet, ego cons 
We face then outcomes dire

We did spawn Frankenstein 
To destiny resign
Now our choice, laugh or whine

Turbid thought cacophony
Self-fulfilling prophecy

jugglers moved in
wiggling their tails
rainbows in her
deep right dimple
edges of her dancing
hair caressing the pink lips
subdued pastal hues
purple marrying green
internally reflected
light of passion
decluttering hidden
sorrows misaligned
refractive index of
resistant love

As we slowly soften attention
simply looking about in gentleness
empathy tuning into subtler vibrations 
we feel impacted by misaligned consciousness 

This anomaly of contraction is easily corrected
by reducing identity borne attachment 
recognition having ego deselected
thus nestled in contentment

Mindful eye
Cognises
Fickle mind
Porous
Misaligned
Stuporous
Blown away
By thought forms
Like a leaf
Having fallen 
Now at the mercy
Of the fierce winds
That abound

We celebrate 
This delusion
Offering to God
The experience 
Of limitation 
In this lucid dream
Of earth life
Seemingly real
Hijacked by ego
Bubble of illusion 
Which lives on
As long as
We feed it

On waking from sleep,
before thought forms leap,
we in all fairness,
are pure awareness.

Alive and able
but with no label,
we are as we are,
a luminous star.

Remaining thus we
mirrorlessly see
with our inner sight,
that we’re living light.

Then looking at form,
manifests a storm
related to fear
of body held dear.

Putting thoughts on pause,
we discern the cause
of meanings assigned,
from truth misaligned....

His chromosomes are misaligned,
He cannot call his mothers name.
He sees the beauty of his own world.

But his smile is full of love,
He dimples break your heart.
He reaches for love with confidence.

He will clap his little hands,
With a soft and radiant delight.
He lives with a quiet abandon.

He will never be the President,
Or know the daily stress of life.
Sweet purity is his greatest gift.

He is a diamond in the rough....

As a creature of habit we begin
each endeavour tapping into our mind,
whilst oft neglected is our heart sanguine
gently urging us to choose pathways kind
free from feral ego’s demonic bind.
Ego wishes to seize and heart, connect,
Thus head-heart misaligned is soul's defect,
an aberration we may soon set right
if God's throb of love we choose to elect,
ushering deep peace bestowed by His light.

True, heart is the center
Where all our desires are born
Misaligned from source, then canter
Until we are exhausted, ego urges shorn

The ego is simply a seed yet to blossom
We see it as our face or head ovoid
When it sprouts, back to bosom
In heart by love buoyed

In heart, our eye single
Signals the third eye chakra
Enlivened by the bliss current tingle 
As God’s grace in-pours from the Sahasrara

baby ghost
wrinkles the river

I gaze 
at its drowsiness
as I masticate 
on the meanings of why
because inside me is misaligned 

and its cold, sleepy eye 
- cautionless -
shall twitch
like visible white noise 
when TV boxes snap

neither shoals
nor skipping stones 
breaches the facade of a conspiratory sea

river rattles 
'cause it's my baby's ghost:
The Deer Hunter 
picked her blossom
tending his garden
of wicked passion
for crooked lotuses 
laying dead
     afloat...
